Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety has high growth vigor and is intended for use as a salad potato. The tubers are oval-shaped with yellow skin and flesh, and very shallow surface eyes. Between 18 and 23 tubers are formed in one plant, which ensures a large volume of small marketable produce.

The plant has high resistance to leaf and tuber late blight, common scab, and PVYntn virus. The variety is fully resistant to potato wart and potato cyst nematode. Dry matter content is 20–22%, the culinary type is characterized as A-B, and the flesh does not darken significantly upon boiling.
